As an admin I want to create a user with an email as a identifier.
I know that is possible by using firebase-admin 'create User'. The problem is that it is then only available through email/password provider, and I can not figure out how to add a Facebook provider when creating a user. Is it even possible?
I know also that I can link providers but for that user will have to login with email/password first anyway, which is not optimal.
So I want to create a user with an email identifier but accessible through facebook login (firebase).
How can I achieve that?
Creating Facebook users is currently not possible via Admin SDK. You can do so using the Firebase CLI SDK: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/auth#authimport

I was wondering if it was possible to add a login system to my app so that you have to login in order to view the rest of the content.
I've tried making two fields for username and password and tried to use the Instagram API however it wasn't successful.
Thanks
I'm developing a mobile API and I would like to allow mobile users to log in to my mobile application using their Facebook account.
I've been struggling to find some detailed information regarding this request. Could someone point me in the right direction? I'm using the following Laravel package for OAuth2:
https://github.com/lucadegasperi/oauth2-server-laravel
As I understand, the user clicks the "Login with Facebook" button and then proceeds to authentication. Facebook provides the access token as a result. But how does a user account appear on our server? And to my knowledge, it is our server that should provide an access token which is tied to the user account on our database. Could someone clear this up?
Have you looked at the Facebook mobile sdk guides?
iOS: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/ios
Andriod: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/android/
The package you mention looks like it performs oAuth authentication, and I don't think you need that. If I understand correctly, you should be able to use the Facebook sdk to perform the authentication and tell your app that the user is authenticated. You will have to create a user account for them (for example, add a record to the users table in your database) and store their Facebook ID.
I am new to web development. My goal is:
- I have username and password for a facebook (FB) user.
- Now, I want to pass these credentials(via POST,GET or any other way...whatever) to FB to validate the user and if validated, save the user session.
- I read articles on oAuth and understood the idea. However, in that you need to create an APP on FB first and then you can use the APP Id and validate FB user. I do not want to create any APP on FB. I have a username and password and just want to pass it to FB some how and validate the user.
Let me know if this is possible? I work on C#.net/VS2008. However, if it is not possible in .net then please advise if it is possible in any other language/technology.
Thanks and regards,

A user is not allowed per the policy to share its username and password, so what you are proposing is therefor also not allowed, and hence not made possible.
In stead of website build-in login form, I use Facebook login to get user authentication, then they can browse all other page on my website.
My question is how to store user permission so that in all page, my website recognize that the current user is a authenticated user?
Is there any function in Facebook SDK provided these feature or I should use basic PHP function?
Thanks
The SDK itself doesnt offer you such a method to store the data. You have to do this by your own. There is own programmed component that can manage such for you. It stores the access_token for the users in a database. This can directly done via ajax. You can request for users permissions and store the data in the database...in one step!

How do they manage to get user to login to Twitter / Facebook through Javascript so smoothly?
I am trying to replicate it for the web app. Basically, the user only needs to add a javascript snippet to their site to kickstart but I am clueless as to how to integrate facebook and twitter connect seamlessly.
Do they store access tokens after successfully authenticating a user?
Short answer is yes, they store access tokens after successfully authenticating a user.
After you try facebook and twitter apis, you'll see that, they both returns ids for every user who succesfully logged-in through your application. You can then simply add those ids pairing with the platform they logged in to your database. You can then use that data to track users easily.
You need to
Create applications on both platforms
Have pages for each provider to check if user performed a succesful login
Check if user is a newcomer and add that user to your database if so.
Set a session or cookie variable of user's local id in your own application or do whatever you are normally doing to track if a user logged-in as that user is your local user.
